In between sips and savory moments, guests will get to hear the stories behind your favorite brands to further immerse yourself into the "spirit" of the festival. Participants will get the chance to take a deep dive into the world of mixology through bartender competitions, grand tastings, and mini-seminars. Live music and risqué entertainment will keep the good times going and there may even be a celebrity or two in attendance. Add it all up, and you have a festival that’s a must for industry pros, cocktail enthusiasts, and casual liquor lovers to attend.
